n MACON, GA, April 6.-Rev. A. W.
Ssby, pastor of the First Presbyterian
1&urch, OF this city, has rendered his
xosignation. The history OF this step is
y BONE interest. AS far back as two
Gummers the congregation, which Is tue
&rIncipal one OF that denomination In this
Efty, through the executive board Of the
ohurcb, requested the pastors resigna-
1ion. stating as q reason that under his
mr<nching, which was after the old
8oOI, studied and doctrinal, the MEM
Uurship was not increasing and the at
foodance was growing smaller. They
further alleged that his sermons
were not attractive TO the young,
and produced no interest among
tire members. Rev. Clisby. the Sunday
following, delivered an unusually strong
sermon, closing with the announcement
taat he mad been asked to resign and
giving the reasons the executive board
had advanced. His statement, supple
rnented by some criticisms OF the reasons,
put the congregation IN furry and gave
che newspapers a sensational item. The
pastor said be would wait until after the
summer vacation, when all Of the MEN,
bers mad returned from the watering
places, and appeal 10 the congregation.
lie carried the day aftervSrd by a close
vote. Since that time the discomfort has
gradually increased, a large part OF the
congregation recently splitting of and

The rendering OF the resignation
is taken as a completion to the triumph
OF the opposition" Under the rules of
that denomination pastor can only re-
sign by permission OF a majority OF the

accepted by the Presbytery. Rev. Clisby
asked permission TO resign, not becau 3 e

English Salmon Market.

The London GToce1'S Gazette, Sept.
10, says: There is steady business,
but no rush at present prices, and as
from now to Christmas is usually a
quiet time for consumption, dealers
seem determined to buy only on the
most meagre scale.
The London Grocer, Sept. ii, says
Salmon is still very dear and it is
feared that the consumption will
shortly begin to show signs of falling
off as the result of higher and, to the
retailers, less profitable prices. Co.
lumbia river fish that can be had al
28s per case are taken pretty freely,
but not in such large quantities as il
the quotations were 23s TO 25s, and an
absence of general information is
plainly evident.
The Liverpool correspondent of the
London Grocer says: The home trade
in-salmon is steady and satisfactory
at full prices, whilst OF exports sever.
al important shipments of Columbia
river have been made to the United
States at the advanced rates ruling

Beware the Dynamo.

/ have a friend at the capitol who
dearly loves a joke, and he told me
with much gusto yesterday an Incl
dent which took place in lower-town
grocery store. In the basement of
the store is the apparatus with which
the proprietor generates the electrici-
ty for his own store-ighting plant. A
laboring man had occasion to go
down stairs looking for something
when my friend and the engineer were
talking about the great drawing power
of one part of the magnetized instru-
ment. The laboring man was walking
near to this magnet, which is OF great
power. when suddenly as he moved
around his tin pail was snatched
from his hand and drawn by the mys-
terious element whack up against the
iron. With a yell like a Sioux In
dian the frightened man turned, gave
one glance at that tin pail huggIng
the black iron, and broke for the
stairs on the dead run.-St. Paul

"WAR FOOTING" means, in Germany
and France, half a million of men for
each country, fully armed and
equipped, drilled to perfection, and
ready to grapple to the death at a
moments notice. Behind them are
the reserves, including in the various
classes every male from seventeen to
sixty years Of age, all of whom can
be put into the field in a few weeks.
1t means the most extensive system
of frontier defense that was ever de-
vised; the fortifcation of all strategic
points in the two countries to the
very last extent that skill, science
and money can go. The Prlissians
claim that they have drawn such q

Lorraine, and so fortified and gar
risoned the important towns of the
two provinces as to battle any at.

THE press of this coast has quite
generally taken the position, says the

governmental seizing the sealers in
Alaskan waters was unauthorized so
long as those vessels confined their
operations outside of the three mile
limit. This, it was claimed, they had
done but the treasury agent in charge
Of the Alaskan seal islands, reports
that the depredations complained of
are not committed within disputed
jurisdiction, but upon islands belong
ing to the United States. The Brit
ish vessels land their crews upon
these islands and kill the seals during
the breeding season. According to
the agents report, the British
took fifty thousand skins last
season on islands belonging to
the United States. The British
case as itj has been presented
is based upon the assumption that the
offenses charged were committed with
IN waters which are claimed as part of

A SAN FRANCISCO paper publishes
the names of a number of men in
that city who denounce the con-
demnation of the Chicago anarchists
as an act of gross injustice, and who
roundly curse the supreme court for
affirming the decision below. Some
of the men have been more or less
prominent in politics. In the entire
lot there is not a native-born Ameri-
can. That any foreigners to whom
this country has been SO precious a
refuge from oppression, should utter
a word of sympathy for these wretches
who seek the undoing of the Republic,
amazes those who have been so for
tunate as to be born to the soil, and
and who esteem the liberties here en-
ioyed as immeasurably OF greater
value than the theories of dreamers
of an ideal community, where the
state is all and the Individual nothing.
